    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Jedrnurse replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Jedrnurse replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be surprised by the ANA undercutting staffing ratio laws. They are pseudo-corporate paper pushers, not nurses. Their "flexible staffing ratios" still amount to "make due with the staffing...

    Is it worth it to maintain RN license in more than 1 state?

    Jedrnurse replied to saheckler's topic in General Nursing

    Poll: do you have professional liability insurance?
